Damn, it looked like a pretty bad accident.

Right around the corner from where I live in NYC was a CBR929RR sitting on its side with the tank leaking and the can sitting about twenty feet away from it.

The rider (a squid) wore nothing but sneakers jeans tshirt and a helmet. Suffered two broken legs. Looks like he lowsided under a car and got trapped.

When will these people learn.

 

to highside, instead of lowside, so you can fly OVER the car?

 

..learn to not low side or high side? hmm..i dunno dude..that usually takes lots of practice...

 

Actually, just lock up the rear wheel and then let go of the rear brake while turning. I think you can get more distance if you're on the throttle when you let go of the rear brake. (been awhile since that MSF class...)

 

i know how to go over the handlebars. i was so good at it, i did it the first time without even practicing!

 

Do you mean he was in the Navy?

 

squid: A rider that rides will beyond his abilities, has poor judgment, doesn’t wear adequate protective gear, and generally rides in an unsafe manner.
-taken from the CBR List FAQ-

 

but if we didnt have squids, we wouldnt have all the cool Sportbike videos out....

 

IMO, screw the Starboyz and the ilk. I just want Speedvision and more motorcycle-racing coverage.
